Our petal lounge chair is inspired by the Corona Chair, also called Pyramid Chair which was first produced in 1961 by Danish Designer Poul Volther. The name "Corona" comes from the fact that the shapes of the chair are reminiscent of the phases the sun goes through during an eclipse, and those shapes can either be used as backrests or armrests, depending on your preference.The highly sculptural form of the petal chair consists of four gently curving elliptical seat elements, graduated in size, and made to appear hovering in space. A matching stool is included in order to maximize relaxation with matching soft micro fiber and complementary dimensions. Perfect for any ultra modern space.

The essential design of the petal swivel chair is a rare combination of organic expression and ideals, ergonomics, functionality, and technical streamlining. The presence of the four separate, upholstered, oval shaped shells meeting your back at ideal parts, providing maximum comfort and support to the body and the spinal column, as the chair itself appears to have one of its own running down the back of the chair and joining the four shells together. The shells also seem to represent the way the ribs look and are attached to the spine, embracing the flow and the ultimate design of human anatomy.

• - Velour micro fiber 
• - Chrome plated solid steel frame with swivel base
  
• - Ergonomic design and high quality materials to let it make you very comfortable when you lay down it.
  

About Poul M. Volther

Poul M. Volther, the Danish designer, was prolific and interestingly insightful. He  saw potential in many things that others could not. He was part of the sculpting of the iconic modernistic generation of design along with other famous designers like Le Corbusier, Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner, and the Eames just to name a few. One of Poul Volther's masterpiece is the Corona Chair which was first introduced in 1964 to the mainstream public, but was conceived three years earlier in 1961. Since the Corona’s chair debut it has become quite the requested piece, and has graced many movie screens, television and even the latest music videos, and it was also the official chair used in the 2002 at the Chiefs of State meeting at the EU summit in Copenhagen.
